Our interview with Texas mom of seven, Meg Wallace, was full of grace, truth, and more than a few tears. Based on an article she penned a few years ago, Meg talks about what it means for our hearts to be hardened as mothers and what we can do to turn that around. One of our favorite episodes yet!

We hear a lot about the importance of mentors these days. All the cool kids seem to have one. What is a mentor & do you need one? How do you find one and what makes these relationships work? In this episode, we dive into all this and more. Scripture encourages older women to pass their wisdom down to those younger. We could all use a helping hand and some encouragement at times!

A follow-up to the previous episode (season 6, episode 7), we explore what it means to have an abundant life. Can you have an abundant life even when your heart is broken? In the midst of grief or betrayal? Abundance comes from abiding, no matter what's going on around or inside you. How does that work exactly?

What is an abundant life? Is it even possible when most days we might feel grateful just to make it to bedtime? Who or what steals our promise of abundance and how can we take it back?

It's rare for a relationship to suddenly rocket off the rails. More likely, we deviate off course a degree at a time. Fortunately, there are some do-able and practical efforts we can make to "course correct" on a regular basis to maintain the direction we want to grow in!

We lay out our top 10 "rules for life," otherwise known as stuff that's worked for us over the years. Join us for this line up of part-wisdom/part-opinion!

Special guests, Marisa Bailey and Katelyn Sproles, join us for a conversation from two points of view: a parent raising kids in a different culture and a kid who was raised that way. Both lived in Tanzania, East Africa, for many years and have felt the effects of crossing back and forth between cultures and navigating the differences. Third Culture Kids (TCKs) definitely have a different worldview than the rest of us!

What goes into choosing a home? Are there some features in particular families should look for? We walk down memory lane a bit in this episode with Rachel Farrell as we talk about what made our houses "home." (Pre-recorded and pre-aired on the RACHEL FARRELL SHOW.)
